If you suffer from moderate to severe facial wrinkles, your doctor may have recommended Juvederm XC. If you are considering treatment, it is important to be well-informed so that you can make educated decisions about your health and appearance.

What is Juvederm XC?

Juvederm XC is a non-surgical filler made from hyaluronic acid (HA). It can be used by your doctor to instantly smooth out the lines along the sides of your nose and mouth.

What is Juvederm XC approved for?

Juvederm XC is approved for injection into the mid-to-deep dermis (below the outer layer of skin) for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.

What’s the difference between Juvederm XC and Botox?

Both Juvederm XC and Botox are used to treat facial lines and wrinkles. While they are both non-surgical, they work differently:

Botox is injected beneath the skin to target the underlying muscles responsible for wrinkles.

Juvederm is injected directly into the skin to smooth moderate-to-severe wrinkles.

How long does Juvederm XC treatment usually take?

The Juvederm injection process is generally completed in one brief office visit. You will also need to allow time to consult with your doctor prior to treatment.

Does the correction last forever?

No, but your initial correction may last up to one year with optimal treatment. Touch-up and repeat injections are recommended about once per year to maintain results.
